No; $mime_content_type does not include any options such as "name" so
that's not being considered. (In theory; I haven't checked source).

If you take a copy of the received message, strip off headers added by
your system, run "exim -d+acl+expand -bs -bh orig.in.al.ip" then do SMTP
to send the message, you'll (a) not deliver it, so don't worry about
duplicates and (b) be able to see the ACL logic and the string
expansions. The string expansion should show you what was in
$mime_content_type and the ACL debugging logic as a whole will confirm
that this condition was even being tested.
